I wish I could redo college at U of AZ.

...If anything, just to hang out on their sweet, sweet campus. It is stunningly magnificent. To give you some perspective: Carthage has a Psychology hallway, and a science corridor. Carthage teaches a single Optics class and Astrophysics class biannually. We outsource engineering classes to Madison.

Arizona has a Psychology BUILDING, an optics BUILDING, an engineering NEIGHBORHOOD, and a Space Sciences BUILDING. Did I mention their full-size planetarium, and 3 on-campus observing domes? Look at their main promenade:

Yes, they have gorgeous mountains surrounding them on all sides. This main street thing is for pedestrians and bikes only, with long stretches of grass in the center. It was a college utopia. Remember that optics building I mentioned? This is their top floor lunching patio:

The only odd thing about the whole place was the bathrooms in the museum. None of the urinals had dividers...

We had a great day overall though. Fuku Sushi gave us a cheap but tasty lunch - Except for Coty, who spent $27 on hers.

Ryan and I jogged through some local neighborhoods, where we discovered an entire cul de sac peppered with ORANGE TREES like it was no big deal. They grow them IN THE STREET. UGHHH

Justin, Zach and I got some more practice on the little telescope, taking more footage of the Moon/Jupiter to test out the webcam. Someone else posted the pics I believe, so look around.

In other happy news, today marks my 1 year anniversary with Chelsea, my girlfriend who is currently in Guatemala on an econ trip. To help me cope, Eric has agreed to wear a wig and join me for a fancy dinner. Updates to come. Til next time, dear reader(s?)
